Description
11 evaluation trenches were excavated on c.1.3ha of arable farmland to the east of Moreton Hall in advance of a planning application for a new school. The 11 trenches showed a consistent soil profile throughout the site, with c0.25m of topsoil overlying a subsoil layer of mid brown silt/sand that averaged between 0.1 and 0.25m thick. The subsoil sealed the natural geology, a mix of yellow/brown sands and occasional gravel with outcrops of mid orange/brown clay/silt. The geological surface was broadly flat but undulated gently and occasional pockets of subsoil infilled slight hollows (S1).
